to us
belongeth
confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have
sinned against thee.
9
To the Lord our God
belong
mercies and forgivenesses, though we have
rebelled against him;
10
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the L
ORD
our God, to walk in his laws,
which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law,
even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and
the oath that
is
written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against
him.
12
And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that
judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath
been done upon Jerusalem.
13
As
it is
written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet
made we not our prayer before the L
ORD
our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and
understand thy truth.
14
Therefore hath the L
ORD
watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for
the L
ORD
our God
is
righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15
And
now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty
hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16
O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be
turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities
of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people
are become
a reproach to all
that are
about us.
17
Now
therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to
shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
18
O my God, incline thine ear, and
hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we
do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
19
O
Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for
thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
20
And whiles I
was
speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people
Israel, and presenting my supplication before the L
ORD
my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21
Yea, whiles I
was
speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the
beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
22
And
he informed
me,
and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill
and understanding.
23
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I
am come to shew
thee;
for thou
art
greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider
the vision.
24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25
Know therefore and understand,
that
from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be
seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:
the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26
And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof
shall be
with a flood, and unto the end
